KINGSTON, Jamaica:
People's National Party (PNP) executive and popular Montego Bay figure, Kenley 'Bebe' Stephens, was yesterday laid to rest after two thanksgiving services in St James.
One of the funerals was held at the Holy Trinity Zion Church and the other at the Granville Deliverance Centre.
Stephens, also known as Kenrick Stephenson, was shot dead last month.
The police had described him as a major player in the lottery scam operations in Montego Bay.
Stephens also served as vice-chairman of the PNP's West Central St James constituency.
Reverend Juavene Guthrie, the assistant pastor at Holy Trinity, broke down in tears after reading a congratulatory card that was given to her by the deceased following her pastoral appointment some time ago.
At the second funeral at the Granville Deliverance Centre, Government Members Derrick Kellier and Sharon Ffolkes-Abrahams said Stephens was selfless and recalled his contribution to his community and the PNP.
In honour of the fallen comrade, the councillor for the Granville Division Michael Troupe announced the establishment of a scholarship for a student living in Granville.
